PlayMe

Embeddable Song Request Form for Radio Stations

Designed for Radio Stations

PlayMe was requested by a radio station deejay and built to best serve both the studio and the listeners.

• Listeners may provide their name, the artist/song name, and a dedication (or comments), to make realtime requests to Radio Stations and Deejays.
• The form is easily embeddable using the shortcode [playme] and can optionally require Google’s reCAPTCHA to verify requests before they’re submitted. Put “[playme]” on its own line in the page content (using Text View) to position the PlayMe form where you want it to appear on your page.
• On the backend, requests are shown in a list that refreshes passively every minute, and can be dismissed/hidden once the request has been addressed.
• For privacy, the only information captured (apart from what’s entered in the submission form) is an IP Address, to offer some insight to site owners about those who are submitting song requests.

3rd Party Services

Be advised about the 3rd Party services used by this plugin.

• Google reCAPTCHA: Optionally, site owners may configure PlayMe to use Google’s reCAPTCHA service to help minimize abuse of the Song Request form. More information about this service can be found on Google’s privacy policy and terms of service of use.
• WhatIsMyIPAddress.com: PlayMe offers a link for site owners to quickly discover/review the geographic location on record associated with the IP address of the submitter of the Song Request (IP-to-Location). This service is provided by a 3rd Party. More information about WhatIsMyIPAddress.com can be found on its website, its privacy policy, and its terms of use.
